Mike Emrick is one of the leading voices in the game of hockey. He is currently the lead announcer for the NHL on both NBC and NBC Sports, and has done play-by-play on CBS, NBC, ABC, TNT, ESPN, Fox, CSTV, SportsChannel Philadelphia, PRISM and Fox Sports Net. Emrick got his start in broadcasting after earning his undergraduate degree in Speech from Manchester University in 1968 and Masters degree in radio and television from Miami University in 1969. He’d go on to earn his Ph.D. in Communications from Bowling Green State University in 1976, hence the nickname “Doc”. After teaching speech and broadcasting at Geneva College from 1969 he began duties as a correspondent for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1971. From that point on he worked his way up the ladder and became one of the most trusted and respected commentators in NHL history. In 2004 he earned the NHL’s Lester Patrick Award, and went on to earn the Foster Hewitt Memorial Award from Hockey Hall of Fame in 2008. In 2011 Emrick became the first member of the media to be inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.

The leading sports broadcasting speakers appear on our television screens each week talking about our favorite sports. That familiarity they build with the viewing audience over time makes them popular as some of the athletes we see compete on the field or court. By nature of their occupation, sports broadcasting speakers have tremendous communication skills, making them for corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, and other organizations. These broadcasters can also be great hosts for your next in-person or virtual event!
Hockey stars lay their bodies on the line and they are universally respected for their toughness. The NHL has brought a significant level of exposure to these athletes’ impressive feats. Hockey speakers are also some of the humblest athletes to work with and they are great for corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, and other organizations. The way that the best hockey speakers connect with audiences on important subjects like teamwork, leadership, and overcoming adversity, makes them valuable for any in-person or virtual event.
